Jim has been an instructor of aboriginal skills and wilderness survival training for over a decade. He is a volunteer naturalist for the Santa Monica Mountains. The skills that Jim teaches help people to connect in a very deep, meaningful, fun, and personal way with their natural environment (and themselves). This connection motivates and inspires people to become good stewards of the land (and themselves)… which is Jim’s goal.“Learning Aboriginal skills is a pathway to a deeper, more intimate and meaningful relationship with the natural world. Practicing these skills greatly enhance your personal unique connection to the natural environment. As a result you will become a healthier, happier, and more peaceful person. This will guide you into becoming a protector for the land that loves us all unconditionally.”
